Nonetheless, the outer-sphere reorganizational barrier should be identical for both reactions (eq 33) as should Z (eq 32). I n the absence of long-range electron transfer in the excited state self-exchange or of significant structural differences either in Ru-N bonds or in the bpy ligands between Ru( b ~ y ) 3 ~and + the excited state, the two self-exchange rates should be identical.

Vibrational Spectra, Resonance Raman Spectra, and Electronic Spectra of the p-Oxo-decachlorodiruthenium( IV) Ion Robin J. H. Clark,* Malcolm L. Franks, and Philip C.

Abstract: The infrared and Raman spectra of the complexes K4[Ru2OCllo], Rb4[Ru2OCllo], and Cs4[Ru2OCllo] have been

recorded and the observed bands assigned. The Ru2OCl1o~-ion displays the resonance Raman effect, most spectacularly for the potassium salt, when irradiated with an exciting line whose frequency falls within the contour of the lowest allowed band of the ion at ca. 20 000 cm-I. These spectra are characterized by a large increase in the intensity of the Raman band arising from the ul(Ru-O-Ru), alg. stretching fundamental, together with the appearance of an overtone progression reaching 7ul a t room temperature and 12ul at 100 K for the potassium salt. Six other progressions are also observed in the resonance Raman spectrum of this ion a t room temperature (eight others at 100 K), in each of which it is V I which acts as the progression forming mode. The observation of such progressions has permitted the determination of w ] , X I ] , and several cross terms x l n . The w1 values decrease with increasing size of the cation (decreasing lattice energy), viz. 256.5 (K+), 254.7 (Rb+), and 249.9 (Cs+) cm-l. Excitation profiles for four of the Raman bands have been plotted. That for V I reaches a maximum at ca. 20 000 cm-', from which observation it is concluded that the resonant electronic transition is the axially polarized, electric dipole allowed 'A2, IAI, component of the (e,b)4 (eJ3 (b1,)2 (e,*)' (e,b)4 (eg4) ( b ~ , )(b1J2 ~ transition of the Ru-0-Ru 7-bond system; the observation that the depolarization ratio of V I is =l/3 a t resonance confirms this conclusion. The results suggest the wider use of resonance Raman spectroscopy as a technique for the assignment of electric-dipole-allowed transitions.

There have been a number of recent reports of the observation of resonance Raman spectra from various inorganic molecules and ions.' Such spectra are characterized, among other things, by a very large enhancement to the intensity of a band arising from a totally symmetric fundamental of the molecule, together with the appearance of high intensity overtone progressions in this same mode. Several metal-metal bonded species which belong, or to a first approximation belong, to the D4h point group, viz. the Mo2Cls4- ion,* the

RezClg2- and Re2Brg2- ions,3 and the carboxylate-bridged species Ru2(02CR)4CI ( R = CH3 or t1-C4Hg),~have been particularly spectacular in this respect; irradiation within the contour of the lowest allowed transition of these formally multiply metal-metal bonded species has led, in each case, to the observation of long progressions in the (axial) metal-metal stretching fundamental, clearly demonstrating that the resonant electronic transition is also axially polarized, and thus of the 6* 6 sort ('Az,, ]AI,).

The MzOX1o4- ions (X = C1 or Br) represent another class of inorganic species which, where linear, belong to the point group D4h, and which also possess multiple bonds (in this case in the M-0-M part of the ion). The high polarizability of the axial r-bond system should thus render it suitable for Raman and resonance Raman studies. One such species is the Ru2OC11o4- ion, which is known from early x-ray crystallographic work5 to be linear and which has already been the subject of some rather restricted infrared and Raman spectral No attempt has yet been made to assign the visible absorption spectrum of the ion, in which two strong bands (presumably electric dipole allowed) occur a t ca. 20 000 and ca. 23 000 cm-l (the exact frequencies depend slightly on the cation). Overtone progressions have only been observed,] and are only expected to be observed,8 under conditions in which the electronic transition with which the exciting frequency is brought into coincidence is electric dipole allowed. In view of the close relationship between resonance Raman and electronic spectroscopy it seemed possible that if a resonance Raman spectrum could be excited from the Ru20Cllo4- ion, and the progression forming mode identified, the assignment of the absorption bands in the visible region of the spectrum of the ion might be deduced. Accordingly the infrared, Raman, and electronic spectra of the ion have been investigated, as well as the resonance Raman spectra with a variety of exciting lines whose frequencies are in the vicinity of 20 000 cm-I. The ion is, under these conditions, found to display the resonance Raman effect, most spectacularly by the potassium salt; the characteristic feature of the spectra is the observation of (at most) nine progressions, in each of which the ul(Ru-0-Ru) atg fundamental is the progression forming mode. These observations have not only permitted the determination of the various spectroscopic constants UI, X I I , and x l n , but also permitted the resonant electronic transition to be assigned.

Experimental Section Preparation of Samples. The most widely used method for the synthesis of the RuzOC1104- ion is based on that of Woodhead and F l e t ~ h e rwho , ~ employed ruthenium(VII1) oxide as starting material. It is also possible to prepare different salts of the Ru20C1104- ion from the more readily available commercial ruthenium(ll1) chloride. Ruthenium(ll1) chloride (0.5 g) was suspended in concentrated hydrochloric acid (1 2 M). The solution was gently heated for a few minutes and any undissolved solid was filtered off. To the warm solution was added a solution of potassium chloride (0.5 g) in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The resulting solution was allowed to cool, and the red-brown microcrystalline product was separated by suction filtration, washed with absolute ethanol (two 10-cm3 portions), and dried i n vacuo, yield 0.45 g (60%). Anal. Calcd for K ~ [ R u ~ O C I ~ O ] : CI, 48.69. Found: CI, 48.55. The rubidium and cesium salts were prepared similarly using the calculated amount of alkali halide. Anal. Calcd for Rb4[Ru2OCllo]: CI, 37.67. Found: CI, 36.75. Calcd for Cs4[Ru2OCllo]: CI, 32.10. Found: CI, 3 1.6. Instrumental Details. Raman spectra were recorded using a Spex 1401 double spectrometer in conjunction with Coherent Radiation Model C R 12 Ar+ and Model 52 Kr+ ion lasers. The powers of all lines used were in the range 100 mW-2 W. Detection was by means of a cooled RCA C3 I034 phototube (Grade I) with linear response; further details of the system are described elsewhere.2 Spectra were calibrated by reference to the emission lines of neon, which were superimposed directly onto the spectra while they were recorded. Band areas were determined by the trace, cut-and-weigh procedure and then corrected for the spectral response of the instrument. Relative intensities were measured with respect to the 981-cm-' band of potassium sulfate as internal standard. Samples were rotated at ca. 1400 rpm in order to minimize thermal decomposition of the sample at the beam f0cus.l There was no evidence of irradiationproduced decomposition. The frequencies are accurate to 3 ~ 0 . 5cm-' for sharp bands, f 1 cm-l for broader bands, and f 5 cm-' for the broadest bands (given in parentheses). Raman spectra a t liquid nitrogen temperatures were recorded by scanning the laser beam with a rotating glass block across a KCI disk of the compound mounted on a copper finger attached to a Dewar flask. The finger was contained in an evacuated glass envelope. The diffuse reflectance spectra were recorded by use of a Cary 14 spectrometer. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer 225 spectrometer down to 200 cm-I and on a FS720 interferometer below 200 cm-'; Nujol mulls were used in each case. The results are accurate to f 2 cm-1.

Results and Discussion Vibrational Analysis. The vibrational representation of the Ru20CI10~-ion, in terms of the D4h point group to which it belongs, is as follows: rvib

= 4alg 4- 2bl,

+ b2g + 4eg + a ] , + 4a2, + bl, + 2b2, + 5e,

Thus the 33 normal modes of vibration of the ion give rise to 1 1 Raman bands (the g modes) and nine infrared bands (the a2, and e, modes). The axial fundamentals of the ion are of particular importance in the subsequent discussion, and accordingly the symmetry coordinates which principally contribute to each normal coordinate of aig and a2, symmetry are sketched in Figure 1. The mode numbering scheme which has been adopted in this paper is also made explicit in Figure 1. The observed infrared and normal (Le., off-resonance, A, = 647.1 nm) Raman bands of the ion, as they occur in the potassium, rubidium, and cesium salts, are given in Table I, together with (as far as is possible) the band assignments. The rule of mutual exclusion is seen to apply, consistent with the centrosymmetric nature of the complex ion. Three of the alg fundamentals have been identified by measurements of the band depolarization ratios (see later). These are ul, u(Ru-0-Ru),,, a t 256.2-249.5 cm-I (the strongest Raman band); u2, u ( R ~ - C I , , ) , ~a~t 293.1-286.4 cm-I; u 3 , ~ ( R U - C I ~a~t 357.2-345.7 ),~~ cm-I.

enhancement is, in Albrecht's n ~ m e n c l a t u r e , primarily '~ of the A term type, Le., of the type in which the nuclear coordinate dependence of the energy of the resonant electronic state is responsible for the resonance enhancement. A single combination band only of the sort ulvl v g has been observed; the shortness of this progression is undoubtedly because v g is very weak and not totally symmetric; cf. the situation of the AuBr4- ion,I43l5 where short progressions in the alg fundamental have been observed based on one quantum of a nontotally symmetric, but nevertheless Raman-active vibration. (b) Liquid Nitrogen Temperatures. We have also recorded the resonance Raman spectra of the three salts at ~ 1 0 K. 0 The spectra obtained with 514.5 or 488.0 nm exhibited considerably more structure than those recorded a t room temperature. In particular for the K+ salt (Figure 6) nearly all the progressions showed further members; in addition, short progressions were observed based on 2 v 5 and on 2 ~ 1 0in, both of which V I again acts as the progression forming mode.

In general all the bands are narrower a t 100 K than a t room temperature, partly because the contributions of hot bands has been decreased. Most bands occur a t very slightly higher frequencies in the low temperature (KCI disk) spectrum of the complex as compared with the room temperaturr: (pure solid) one. This is a consequence of compressing the solid into a KCI disk and not of the temperature change. Both wave numbers
